Planned Parenthood Knew of Kermit Gosnell’s Abortion Horrors
Life news ^ | Steven Ertelt

Planned Parenthood has already been connected to Kermit Gosnell in one way — via a grisly abortion experiment he conducted on women back in the 1970s.

But Planned Parenthood Southeast Pennsylvania president and CEO Dayle Steinberg admitted this week at a fundraiser that the abortion business knew of the problems at Gosnell’s Philadelphia abortion facility.

Apparently Planned Parenthood did not report it to the state health department or other state or local officials who could have done something about it. Instead, it appears the abortion giant left it up to women Gosnell injured or traumatized to make public officials aware of his House of Horrors.

“We would always encourage them to report it to the Department of Health,” Steinberg said of women who reported problems at Gosnell’s abortion clinic to Planned Parenthood staff.

Why would the nation’s biggest abortion chain not report the problems? Maybe because it referred women to Gosnell for abortions that were later in pregnancy than it would do.

As James Taranto writes in the Wall Street Journal:

The advent of “safe, legal abortion” didn’t interfere with Gosnell’s back-alley career. The grand jury’s account suggests that other abortionists treated him less as an outlaw than as a niche player in the abortion market. He earned a bad reputation in Philadelphia but received referrals from across the Eastern Seaboard. Many of the women dispatched to him were “well beyond” 24 weeks pregnant, the legal limit in Pennsylvania.

Can we please not use the term ‘Planned Parenthood’. We should call it Unplanned Pregnancy, or Promiscuity Planning or Elective Infanticide or Murder. Inc.

Not one parent results from this organized extinction of babies.

Or we could just call it ‘the hood’.

Who cares if it's filthy or not?

Is it somehow better that terrified, defenseless children are pulled from their Mother's wombs and executed in hideous ways as long as it's "safe, and clean"?

What the hell is the difference?!

Reading this whole thing is like a nightmare from Nazi Germany: children squirming, struggling and screaming to get away, but By God this SOB made sure they were dead, dead, dead!

And not 1, or 2, or even 10...but dozens!!

This guy is a mass murderer who makes the Boston Terrorists look like amateurs!

Is it any better if he killed with a washed knife?!

PS

I say this as I'm sitting next to my 3rd grader who I helped pull from his Mother at 27.5 weeks and who went straight into the arms of one of the world's greatest NeoNatologist's and into his waiting isolette, where he lived for 3 months until he was just about term, and we took him home as a happy Baby!

And I guarantee EVERYONE that he was unmistakably Human when I helped deliver him, and the thought of even a 20 week old being "aborted" is horrifying, as they are just as unmistakably Human as a kid a couple of months older!!

ALL of this is nothing more then outright coldblooded MURDER of the most innocent of the innocent!!

“Who cares if it’s filthy or not?”

Oh but we do care. Since Roe vs Wade all we have heard is “SAFE and legal abortions” or “We will not go back” (while holding up a coat hanger. and “No more back alley abortions”.

What Gosnell and others like him are doing is so far from safe that they might has well be preforming in a back alley with a coat hanger.

Planned Parenthood is not about helping women, they don’t care about women. In fact to put a woman in a condition like this for a medical operation? It is so sub par I can’t even. It insults me as a woman so much that Planned Parenthood has this disregard for women that they say they are helping. Yes I know they are killing babies in the process but don’t go off point. It was this bunch that said their purpose was to “help women”. I wish more women’s eyes would open the way mine has.

I have never seen a bunch of more greedy bastards.

Of course PP knew about Gosnell ... they referred victims to him all the time. Do you think he stood on the corner with a sign that said, “Butcher of Philadelphia, will kill your baby cheap. Ask about my group rates and customer loyalty discounts”?
